Hmm, so the final cookie of the task is always p->core_cookie. This is what
the scheduler uses. All other fields are ingredients to derive the final
cookie value.

I will drop this hunk from your overall diff, but let me know if you
disagree!


No problem. That was there primarily for debugging.

Ok. I squashed Josh's changes into this patch and several of my fixups. So
there'll be 3 patches:
1. CGroup + prctl (single patch as it is hell to split it)
2. Documentation
3. ksefltests

Below is the diff of #1. I still have to squash in the stop_machine removal
and some more review changes. But other than that, please take a look and let
me know anything that's odd. I will test further as well.

Will do. Looking at it now and just started a build.
